The Powertrain Quality Electrical Technician supports electrical and electronic Powertrain Quality activities at Lucid Motors. Reporting to the Powertrain Quality Electrical Engineer, the technician performs standardized inspections, electrical tests, containment, verification, and Quality control activities for electrical and electronic Powertrain components, assemblies, and end-of-line test processes. The role works closely with Production, Manufacturing, Maintenance, Incoming Quality, Test Engineering, and Quality Engineering teams to identify abnormalities, protect the production line, maintain accurate traceability, and support timely corrective actions that meet engineering specifications, Lucid Quality standards, regulatory requirements, and customer expectations.

Key Responsibilities

• Follow all required safety procedures, including the use of appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, vests, shoes, and gloves.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work environment in accordance with 6S standards.
• Develop technical expertise in Lucid Powertrain systems, components, and assemblies.
• Perform incoming, in-process, control point, and end-of-line inspections and tests for electrical and electronic Powertrain components and assemblies, including electric motors, inverters, power electronics, wiring harnesses, connectors, sensors, control modules, and high-voltage interfaces.
• Execute inspections and electrical tests according to approved control plans, work instructions, electrical schematics, specifications, sampling plans, reaction plans, test limits, and acceptance criteria.
• Perform continuity, polarity, grounding, connector engagement, pin integrity, insulation resistance, dielectric withstand, torque, labeling, and functional verification checks, as required.
• Use calibrated electrical test equipment, diagnostic tools, fixtures, golden samples, and approved end-of-line test systems to verify product conformity and process compliance.
• Identify, segregate, label, and document nonconforming material and support containment, sorting, re-inspection, controlled repair, software or calibration verification, and revalidation under the direction of the Powertrain Quality Electrical Engineer.
• Escalate abnormalities promptly and provide diagnostic evidence, test results, measurements, photographs, fault codes, and traceability information to support customer protection and rapid decision-making.
• Accurately record inspection, test, repair, containment, and audit results in approved Quality, MES, QMS, diagnostic, and traceability systems.
• Support root cause investigations, corrective action trials, validation builds, test-limit verification, and effectiveness checks for electrical, electronic, diagnostic, communication, and high-voltage defects related to internal failures and Field Quality feedback.
• Conduct workmanship inspections for harness routing, connector seating, terminal condition, sealing, grounding, labeling, fastener torque, damage, contamination, and assembly standards.
• Support test-equipment qualification, measurement system analysis, calibration checks, correlation studies, line trials, safe launch, launch readiness reviews, and engineering or software change implementation.
• Participate in layered process audits, product audits, compliance checks, and verification of standardized work and electrical safety controls.
• Complete required high-voltage, electrical safety, inspection, and test certifications and contribute to continuous improvement, defect prevention, lessons learned, and reduction of repeat issues.

Skills

• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, engineering specifications, interface requirements, process documentation, control plans, and inspection or test standards.
• Practical knowledge of digital multimeters, continuity testers, insulation-resistance testers, dielectric test equipment, diagnostic tools, torque tools, and functional test systems.
• Working knowledge of electric motors, inverters, power electronics, high-voltage components, wiring harnesses, connectors, sensors, controllers, grounding, and electrical interfaces.
• Basic understanding of high-voltage safety principles, electrical isolation, lockout/tagout requirements, and safe work practices applicable to assigned activities.
• Basic understanding of automotive Quality systems, nonconforming material control, MSA, SPC, layered process audits, and structured problem-solving methods.
• Ability to recognize and document electrical abnormalities, fault codes, intermittent conditions, connector or harness defects, and workmanship concerns.
• Strong attention to detail, disciplined execution, accurate documentation, and effective communication with the Powertrain Quality Electrical Engineer and cross-functional teams.
• Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and familiarity with MES, QMS, diagnostic, digital inspection, and traceability systems.

Minimum Qualifications

• Diploma in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, or a related discipline required. A high school diploma with extensive relevant experience may be considered.
• 2-4 years of experience in automotive manufacturing, electrical inspection, electrical testing, diagnostics, or a related environment.
• Ability to use electrical measurement, test, and diagnostic equipment and maintain accurate inspection and traceability records.
• Ability to work on the manufacturing floor, support shift operations and production priorities, and comply with all applicable electrical and high-voltage safety requirements.
• Good verbal and written communication skills with the ability to clearly communicate technical findings to the Powertrain Quality Electrical Engineer and cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with EV Powertrain electrical systems, motors, inverters, power electronics, high-voltage components, harnesses, connectors, sensors, controllers, or end-of-line testing.
• Experience supporting new product launches, greenfield manufacturing, or high-volume production ramp-up.
• High-voltage awareness training or certification. Required training or certification must be completed as applicable to the assigned work scope.
